Chicago - I Can't Do It Alone Lyrics

Ladies and Gentleman
Miss Velma Kelly in an act of desperation

My sister and I had an act that couldn't flop
My sister and I were headed straight for the top
My sister and I earned a thou a week at least, oh yeah
But my sister is now unfortunately deceased

I know it's sad of course, but a fact is still a fact
And now all that remains
Is the remains of a perfect double act

Watch this!
Now you have to imagine it with two people
It's swell with two people

First I'd, then she'd, then we'd
But I can't do it alone

Then she'd, then I'd, then we'd
But I can't do it alone


She'd say, "What's your sister like?"
I'd say, "Men"
She'd say, "You're the cats, meow"
Then we'd wow the crowd again

When she'd go, I'd go, we'd go

Then those ding dong daddies started to roar
Whistled, stomped, stamped on the floor
Yelling, screamin', begging for more
And we'd say, "Okay fellows, keep your socks up
Cause you ain't seen nothin' yet"

But I simply cannot do it alone
So what'd ya think, huh?
Come on, you can say

I know you're right, the first part's shit
But the second part
The second part is really nifty

Okay, she'd go, I'd go, we'd go

And then those two-bit Johnnys did it up round
To cheer the best attraction in town
They nearly tore the balcony down
An' we'd say, "Okay boys, we're goin' home
But before we go, here's a few more partin' shots"

And this, this we did in perfect unison

Now you see me going through it
You make think there's nothin' to it
But I simply cannot do it alone
